How Can I Make A Paper Flat Again? Help!?

Question

I accidentally made my homework look all messed up as in i accidentally scrunched it up.. How can I make it flat again???

Answer 1

Try doing the same thing you do to flatten out a dollar bill. Find a table that has a rounded edge. Hold the paper firmly at each end, then rub it up and down against the edge of the table.

If you have an iron, you can put the paper between two pieces of fabric and iron the fabric with the paper inside. Ironing the paper directly will ruin the paper, but if you use the right thickness of fabric, it should work very well. Make sure the iron is NOT on "steam."

By the way-- it's nice to see someone else who really really really cares about their homework looking nice! :) It seems like not many students are so proud of their hard work!

Answer 2

Iron it, low setting.

I didn't post because I thought I was being original - I posted just so that you can see that a lot of people have done this.

I used to have to iron my kids homework on a fairly regular basis since they seemed to just wad up and jam their homework worksheets into their backpacks. They were pretty young when they did that - but sometimes, even now, they get frustrated with homework and wad up the paper - and then regret it. So now they iron it (not me).

Answer 3

Sounds weird - but try ironing it :-) Make sure the iron isn't TOO hot - use a setting for sheer fabric, or low-heat setting like rayon.

Good luck.

We commonly had this problem in the magazine bindery where I used to work. We had to repair magazine sections to go into the magazines which where rolled, bent, or crinkled. We ironed them out like clothes on low settings.
